Rupadin Tablet 10 mg contains Rupatadine Fumarate, a second-generation antihistamine used to relieve symptoms associated with allergic conditions. It effectively reduces allergic responses such as sneezing, runny nose, itching, and hives by blocking histamine and platelet-activating factor (PAF). Due to its dual action, it provides enhanced relief from both early and late-phase allergic reactions with minimal sedation.
